Structural and mechanical properties of heat-resistant granular nickel alloys

In order to realize the advantage afforded by granular metallurgy, it is necessary to know the laws of structure formation at every stage of the fabrication of semifinished products for heat-resistant nickel alloys. In this regard the structural features connected with the manufacture of granules by rapid cooling of a melt should be taken into account, as well as those related to the specific technological processes used in reworking (hot isostatic pressing - HIP) and heat treatment. 3 refs., 7 figs., 2 tabs.
